Books with author Margaret Warner 1858- Morley

In this illustrated classic, Margaret Morley teaches readers about how seeds sprout and grow into beautiful plants, how frogspawn makes frogs, how eggs hatch into birds.With many drawings and lots of conversation, Jack and his friends explore the garden and countryside near where they live. They discover all kinds of seeds, nuts, eggs and plants, learning lots about how nature works. They are amazed to discover that big fruits like melons originate from tiny seeds that can sit in the palm of a person's hand. The many fruits that people eat day to day, such as apples and pears, grow from trees that sprouted many years ago from a tiny seed that was made inside one of its fruits.Later on in the book, Jack and company find out how birds and other creatures hatch from eggs. Sometimes the eggs are protected by the mothers who lay them, while other eggs are simply left in the sun's warmth to hatch after a short time. The gang also find out how bumblebees make more plants grow by spreading pollen that they pick up while eating nectar from flowers.

Come, children; come with me. Come to a pond I know of. See how the water shines in the sun. Over there is an old log lying on the edge of the pond. It is covered with green moss, and a green frog is sitting on one end of it. Let us go and sit on the other end. Goop! he says, and—plump! he has jumped into the water. That is too bad, frog; we did not mean to disturb you. How pretty it is here!

An attractive introduction to the curious structure, habits, and activities of bees, in which readers learn how the bees' wondrous body parts equip them to gather nectar and pollen, construct the hive, and nurture the young, and how the different kinds of bees interact in the life of the hive. Over one hundred pen drawings by the author illustrate the features described in the text. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
